Our school is a place where we value language within in and beyond the classroom. We value language as the means through which we think and learn. We value language as the means to communicate with others, to understand their cultures, and to include them in all we do. We value language as a means to be creative. And we value the pleasure that comes from the use of rich and expressive language in all its forms.
Our teachers are all language teachers. Together, they help our students become confident users of English, which is the common language of our school. They appreciate that students learn in different ways and therefore use a wide range of teaching methods. We teach our students other languages, too. These include the language of our host country, China, and other languages from Asia and beyond. Our parents are also language teachers. With support from the school, they are responsible for helping their children develop their mother tongue.
Our students, teachers and parents understand that the confident and respectful use of language helps us give service to others in a spirit of friendship. We use language to express our own feelings and to appreciate the points of view of others. Thus we may learn from each other and contribute to a better and more peaceful world.
